    The viewpoint at 1,050 meters above sea level offers a 360° panorama that National Geographic ranked among the eight best views on the planet. The chairlift ride is optional and can be purchased at the ticket office at the top of the hill.

    Hotel Llao Llao and Panoramic Point

Which one suits you best?

If you arrive with little time or it's your first time in Bariloche → I chose Half-day Circuito ChicoYou cover the classic postcards in four hours and have the afternoon free.
If you only have one day and you want to make the most of it → I chose Circuito Chico full day: the same tour plus two walks in the Llao Llao Reserve and a free afternoon in Colonia Suiza.
If you are more interested in the mountains than the forest → I chose Cathedral Hill: head up to the largest ski resort in South America and it combines perfectly with this afternoon tour.
If you already know the Circuito Chico → I chose Large Circuit: extends the route to Villa La Angostura and Villa Traful in a full day.
